Google Removes Bisexual from it’s “dirty” word list…

Google has taken the word “bisexual,” off their dirty word list. It was originally on this because it was used to reference porn. What? What about the word gay?

At the urging of bisexual advocacy organization BiNet USA, Google unblocked the term “bisexual” and phrases like “bisexual quotes,” “bisexual rights,” and “bisexual parenting” are now automatically suggested to Google users as of this month.

“It’s not every day one of the biggest companies in the world changes its mind, but we are thankful that Google now sees bisexual people just like everyone else,” said BiNet USA President Faith Cheltenham.  “It will take time for bisexual search terms to be ranked as they were before the ban, but now bisexual people and their allies have a fighting chance to be seen, heard, and understood.”
